Literature and Film

The presentation above is a bit dated, and references a textbook I no longer use, but it provides an outline of the three basic “types” of adaptation as well as Robert Stam’s list of fallacies to avoid in adaptation analysis. The icons of movies posters below link to overviews of critical context and general case studies.

Row 1: (1) art and authorship in adaptation, (2) the generic transformation encoded in adaptive translation, and (3) the “ways of seeing” embodied in my specific curricular focus.

Row 2: (1) why the “literary” is not a focus of film studies, (2) taking a closer look at what’s in the frame, and (3) syncretism and adaptation.
